In order to see which places you have saved, open up the Google Maps side menu, then tap on ‘Your Places”.

This will then display all your saved locations on the map, so you’ll always know when a special place is nearby.

All your saved lists will be available across mobile and desktop devices, and can even be viewed when offline, meaning you could create a wish list of places to visit on your next holiday.

The launch is the latest update for Google Maps in recent weeks.

Last week, a major upgrade introduced a dedicated driving menu, which will now display real-time estimated journeys to your designated home or work locations, as well as details on any expected delays or traffic information.

Lastly, there’s a new tab for public transport information, which looks to make bus and tube journeys smoother.

The tab will again display real-time information on arrivals and departures at the nearest stops or stations nearest your locations, as well as an ETA on when you should arrive.
